EAGLEVILLE
Eagleville Fire Department recipient of gift
The City of Murfreesboro
Fire & Rescue Department has
graciously donated one of its
fire department apparatus to
the City of Eagleville Fire Department. The Murfreesboro
Fire & Rescue Department delivered the truck to Eagleville
on Tuesday, Dec. 23 where Eagleville Mayor and officials
from both fire departments
were on hand.
The Eagleville Council
members agreed at a recent
meeting to accept the donated
fire truck and related equipment. The vehicle is a 1990
Pierce Telesquirt with a 50-foot
elevated waterway, a 500 gallon capacity water tank and a
1,250 gallon per minute pump.
City manager Andrew Ellard noted the vehicle will
serve the city of Eagleville and
District 45 by better equipping
the department to respond to
fires in larger buildings, in
shuttling water to fires and will
serve as a reserve pumper/engine unit.
Ellard also noted this is the
second time this year that the
Eagleville Fire Department has
received donated vehicles from
neighboring first response organizations.
Earlier this year, Rutherford
County Emergency Medical
Service (EMS) donated a vehicle to the city that is now being
used as a firefighter/first responder support vehicle.
